The shooting appears to be the largest mass shooting in the city’s history.
OAKLAND — One of the 14 people wounded in a mass shooting near Lake Merritt last month was charged Tuesday after authorities say he was among the gunmen in a shootout that left a large crowd of people scrambling for safety, court records show.
Kelly was identified as one of the suspected shooters through video and other evidence, authorities said. Kelly was on probation for second-degree robbery at the time, and he has a prior conviction for possession of an assault weapon, records show.The gunfire erupted about 8:45 p.m. June 19 in the 400 block of Grand Avenue. Police found about 50 shell casings scattered at the scene.
Police originally said 15 people had been shot, but changed that to 14 when it was determined that a man wounded in what turned out to be another shooting in East Oakland was not shot on Grand Avenue.
